Teaching methods

Lectures. In order to prepare the students in making the necessary connection between conceptual principles and their actual application in logistics contexts, this part of the course avails itself of exercises and computer laboratory lectures. The programming environment used is the Excel and Simul8 software.

Assessment methods and criteria

A test and an oral examination (if required). The active participation to lectures and other activities are evaluated.
